It's all short fill in there-very little reward for the briefly harrowing experience of going in in the first place. That is, if you're successful, the only really positive feeling you have is the feeling of having survived. So those corners not only seem like haunted spaces you might enter and never be heard from again, they also offer comparatively little upside. In an early-week puzzle, I would not fear those corners, but on a Saturday, they're potential nightmares. Seemed like you might go into either one of them and never come out. Harrowing, because they are sequestered, with only one tiny way in and no way out. The worst parts of the solve by far were those teeny corners in the NE and SW. Clues stump you at first take, but the whoosh of answers all around you allows for crosses to build up and dislodge you from wherever you've gotten stuck, such that you're never stuck for very long. Long answers flow into long answers flow into long answers flow into long answers flow into long answers. This puzzle has the thing that I like in all puzzles but especially in more toughly clued puzzles and that is (a homonym of) FLOE. Much nicer, and weirdly easier (for me), than this week's Friday offering. By befriending, not objectifying her subjects, she was able to capture in her work a rare psychological intensity." In his 2003 New York Times Magazine article, "Arbus Reconsidered," Arthur Lubow states, "She was fascinated by people who were visibly creating their own identities-cross-dressers, nudists, sideshow performers, tattooed men, the nouveaux riches, the movie-star fans-and by those who were trapped in a uniform that no longer provided any security or comfort." Michael Kimmelman writes in his review of the exhibition Diane Arbus Revelations, that her work "transformed the art of photography (Arbus is everywhere, for better and worse, in the work of artists today who make photographs)". "She is noted for expanding notions of acceptable subject matter and violates canons of the appropriate distance between photographer and subject. She photographed her subjects in familiar settings: their homes, on the street, in the workplace, in the park. She worked with a wide range of subjects including strippers, carnival performers, nudists, dwarves, children, mothers, couples, elderly people, and middle-class families. Arbus worked to normalize marginalized groups and highlight the importance of proper representation of all people. Diane Arbus ( / d iː ˈ æ n ˈ ɑːr b ə s/ née Nemerov Ma– J) was an American photographer.
